The Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary is commissioned by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists to educate men and women from around the world to proclaim the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ in the setting of the 3-angels' messages of Revelation 14. Affirming the centrality of Scripture as authoritative propositional revelation from God, the seminary is charged with preparing faithful and effective pastors, evangelists, religion teachers, scholars, administrators, and others for the furtherance of the Seventh-day Adventist mission to the entire world. To this end, it seeks to provide substantial instruction in biblical, linguistic, theological, historical, missiological, and pastoral knowledge and skills.
A post-baccalaureate entity of Andrews University, the Seminary is authorized by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists to confer doctoral degrees in theology, religion, and minis-try, and is the only institution delegated by the denomination's North American Division to pro-vide professional and academic master's degrees for the preparation of ministers. In harmony with its global purview, it is asked to offer extension classes and continuing-education opportunities throughout North America and, by means of extension centers and affiliations, to offer context-sensitive pro-grams world-wide.
The Seminary seeks to be responsive to cultural, ethnic, and national differences in its choice of faculty and staff. It accepts students of any cultural, ethnic, and national background, and is open to persons of various religious persuasions who desire to benefit from its offerings and are comfortable with its standards.
Though primarily a teaching, worshiping, and confessing institution, the Seminary believes it can offer the best in professional and academic education only as its staff engages in research, publication, and field experience. In addition, it senses an obligation to assist its sponsoring organizations with counsel and information so far as resources allow.
The Seminary encourages among faculty and students participation in interethnic and inter-cultural fellowship, dedication to healthful life-styles, consecration to things of the Spirit, and commitment to lifelong service wherever in the world God's call may lead.
